I think I'd add Huddersfield to the list of potential Grand Final winners. I think they're dark horses. Not sure I'd write off Hull either, given that Longy and wotsit will be back this weekend. In fact - and I say this while stating I am in no way employed by Sky - I think this season's playoffs are probably the most competitive so far.

Hudds are the dark horses, they have the players and are on top form at the moment. Hull have git no chance, with longy or without longy they won't make the final.

Thats something else we agree on, we are getting pretty close now

You two must get it on unless you already have partners.

I don't buy into this end of an era thing, its like with saints at the min where you havn't won a trophy for around 2 years. Does that mean that your no longer a team that has a chance in the play-offs because you havn't won a trophy for a while ? No it doesn't it just means that a couple of other clubs have improved in recent years to a similar standard to what Saints and Leeds were a few years ago.

At wembley on saturday we played like the Saints and Leeds of old where it looked like our defence was almost impossible to break and when we attacked we made the most of our posession, you will never keep a dominant team together forever as it will eventually dispand due to age, new coaches looking for a different type of player and also player beying forced to retire through injury.

Both saints and Leeds need a few players but nothing more, both of you have a decent youth setup which is bearing fruit at Saints at the min. I don't call it the end of an era for a team that loses in a final for the first time in a while, its just a shock to the system and its telling you that you have work to do in training.

Its not as easy to win a trophy these days compared to what it used to like be when 2 teams dominated the silverware, now you have 2 more teams that are capable of winning the grand final.

If your capable of winning a grand final then their is no such thing as a team has come to the end of its era, anyone of Saints, Leeds, Warrington or Wigan can win at Old Trafford so its just about who turns up with their A game throughout the play offs and in the final itself.

Excellent post mate, you've got it bang on the head

Unlike some others who clearly don't know their ar5e from their elbow

Er, what's this about 'a few years ago'? Leeds won the Grand Final for a third time last season to our endless misery and only pipped us to the hubcap in the last game. And who is in second in the league at present? That would be us. Granted, not for long, given your easier match at the weekend. But still. Less of the 'a few years ago' bollox.

I thank you.

I didn't understand their reasoning in renewing all those contracts, Peacock, Senior, Buderus, etc for next year.

I understood Peacock and Buderus' contract being renewed. Peacock has another year in him easy as does Buderus when used in a 2 hooker role. Senior has been caught out numerous times this year in defence but has shown alot going forward. For me, they've resigned the name there.
